COVID-19 and Volunteering with Habitat

In light of COVID-19, we are advising volunteers of our plans with respect to supporting Habitat Victoria. Please note that these plans may change as we obtain more information from BC Health. Our ReStores will remain open for volunteers and we are exercising diligence by the following:

• Volunteers must use their own gloves.
• Social distancing: please keep 2 metres distance from others.
• Encouraging frequent hand-washing and/or use of an alcohol-based hand rub.
• If you have COVID-19 symptoms please cancel your shift by emailing volunteer@habitatvictoria.com and stay home.
• If you or a member of your household has recently traveled internationally, please refrain from volunteering with Habitat for 14 days upon return.

 
Older adults, people with compromised immune systems, and people with chronic diseases are at greater risk. If you fit any of these demographics, please consider your role with us carefully and let us know if you plan to make any changes to your shifts during this time. 
 
We will keep you up-to-date on our website at habitatvictoria.com/covid-19
